This one is sort of loaded.
The Roundabout Theatre Company in New York is putting on a production of The Threepenny Opera. The production is sponsored by Visa who is a sponsor of The Tony Awards. Unless the deal is that Visa sponsors The Tony Awards, who are presenting The Threepenny Opera in conjunction with The Roundabout Theatre Company in New York.
Or some such.
Anywho, it's a new translation by Wallace Shawn, which is quite cool. And the cast includes Alan Cumming, Cyndi Lauper and Nellie McKay. Which means, that at the very least, it must have been fun at the readthrough and dinner afterwards. It also stars Jim Dale, whose name was familiar to me, but I couldn't quite place why. He's the guy who reads the American editions of the Harry Potter audiobooks, and as such has become sort of the corporate voice of the Potter Empire.
One ticket to Threepenny (Orchestra seat including "a $1.25 Theatre Restoration charge.") - $111.25
Running total - $6,415.27
